The full version and the demo shut down Osmos when attempting to adjust volume in game. Won't stop me from playing just have to set sound before playing. Just thought you guys would like to know.

System Info if you want to reproduce:

Dell D620 / Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 / Linux Mint 9 Isadora / Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (i686)
Compiled: #32-Ubuntu SMP / C Library: GNU C Library version 2.11.1 (stable)
Default C Compiler: GNU C Compiler version 4.4.3 (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) /

Hi Linux_Jester,

Can you please describe in greater detail the exact steps to reproduce this issue? Also, can you please paste into your post the contents of the Osmos log file?

Thanks!
Dave

I shot a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpVxpUcfW9s

Basically the game crashes when turning up or down the volume in game on a Dell Latitude D620 with Linux Mint 9 (I'd imagine Ubuntu is the same way). How do I access the log file. I checked usr/share/games It wasn't there. Did a search and found a folder at opt/Osmos no log files there. Only files listed are 4 folders: Fonts, Icons, Sounds, Textrues and the following:
bindings.cfg
defaults.cfg
eula.txt
osmos-en.loc
osmos-es.loc
osmos-fr.loc
readme.html
Osmos

Noticed another bug. Game freezes and then crashes when adjusting screen brightness in game as well. At least on D620 with Linux Mint. I can try it on Windows XP Home as my machine is dual-booted to see if it does it on the windows version if you want. Keep in mind I won't stop playing. It's a fun game I'm just finished the tutorial levels. Force Ascension is quite hard to master, but I'll get it.

Hi Linux_Jester,

As described in the Osmos FAQ, the log file for the Linux version of Osmos is ~/.Osmos/Osmos.log

I don't have a log file here is the Osmos folder. I checked the launch properties for Osmos (opt/osmos) Folder contents are shown on link.

Hi Linux_Jester,

Can you please launch Osmos from a terminal, then copy the contents of the terminal into this thread?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Linux_Jester,

Looks like it's crashing in the sound loading, which means there is a likely a problem with your OpenAL drivers.

If you launch the game with 'nosound' on the command line, does the game run correctly?

If so, follow the advice on the Osmos FAQ to change which sound device you're using.

Hope this helps,
Dave
